Good news for Cardinals fans who are balling on a budget: if you want to rep your quarterback, you don't need to buy a brand new jersey. You just need to head to thenamechanger.com.

The website allows customers to simply swap out the name plate of a jersey, so pull your No. 3 jerseys out.

In his first press conference as a Cardinal in Arizona, first round draft pick Josh Rosen confirmed that he will continue wearing the 3.

He wore it throughout his career at UCLA, where he was a three-year starter.

Even though it's a carryover from his college days, Rosen realizes the significance of sporting No. 3 in Phoenix. He'll be following in the footsteps of former Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer, who wore it during his five seasons in Arizona.

"I looked up to Carson when he was playing on the Bengals," Rosen said during Friday's press conference. "He and Chad Johnson, or Ochocinco, were two of my favorite players."

While Palmer wore 9 during his seven seasons as a Bengal, he switched to 3 when he went to the Oakland Raiders in 2011. He continued to wear it throughout the remainder of his career.

Palmer's jersey was among the Cardinals' best sellers, usually just behind Larry Fitzgerald and Patrick Peterson.

Rosen will now be taking over Palmer's jersey number, but he'll still have to wait to see if he'll be taking over the starting job as well.
